ABOUT

Woodchuck

I enjoy long walks by the river, Margaritas....no wait, sorry wrong description. I roam North America for work all the while looking for the best mountain bike trails and Gluten Free restaurants.

Coming at you from somewhere in the foothills of Northern Indiana...do they even have hills in Indiana? Or wherever my itinerary may take me this week, with hotel and restaurant reviews for the business or casual traveler. All restaurant reviews will feature gluten free menus due to my own dietary restrictions. Travel is corporate budget style, always trying to make my numbers look good.

I am a Northwest boy, spent 40 some odd years in the Pacific Northwest before this latest gig took me to Northern Indiana. I may at times ramble on about the cultural and geographic differences, specifically as they relate to mountain biking, and [now lack of] rafting.





For sometime I have wanted to develop this blog, write more consistently and include more information about gluten free travel. So, I have hired an editor!

Introducing MonkeyDragon

OK, she is my wife. She writes a few blogs of her own. She got me all set up to post from my Blackberry so you can keep up with my travels and I can post photos and reviews of the food while it is still hot in front of me, and great travel tips while hanging the phone out the window taking photos at high speed.

She promised not to edit out the good [funny] stuff, she'll just clean it up a bit and hit  the "publish" button for me.

So, what car would you buy your kid???

There seems to be a general discussion running rampant around here about what type of car you should by a kid. And when said car should appear around the house. As I only have 4 years to pull this off, better start now. Things to consider before buying the car: 1. DD must complete 12 hours of flight time before taking test for permit. 2. Complete at least one driving school, Skip Barber , Bondurant Racing School , and so on. 3. DD must be able to change a tire, change the oil, do basic maintance on the car. I would like them to be able to strip down an engine and do a rebuild , however that may be just to much at this point. 4.DD must understand that I will not under any circumstance have or allow a pink car to park in front of my house. Cars come in four colors only, Red, Blue, Black, and British Racing Green. 5. Just what is the perfect Horse power to weight ratio? 6. Only one passenger in the car at a time. This is a good argument for a older British sports car that only has two s...

When do you take a Vacation?

I don't really take vacations, instead I take a lot of small trips with my family. I put the two little rodents in the back and we drive and enjoy time with each other. Although no one in the family is a road warrior like me, they do enjoy the destinations. I have not taken any days off this year and will take my "Vacation time" in December and have fun with the rodents. I guess I will never understand someone who needs to leave the kids with the Grandparents and go away for two weeks to some place expensive for a break. I mean, shouldn't you home life and family be where you want to go when you need a break. However, I do understand that this does not apply to my MIL....not going there.....not going there........We teach our kids to live and breathe in this world, don't do that, don't do this. But, do we ever teach our kids to have fun. Does anyone ever say do this, do that, or run wild and have fun? Next time you are driving down the road and you pass one of...

Starbucks everywhere

SEMA.... There was a Starbucks not to far from the booth, but what is up with the price of everything almost double what it is at a normal Starbucks? And when I tried to order a Venti Americano in a Tall cup, the guy just gave me that " I'm soooo confused " look. So I tried to order it in more simple terms, "four shots with just a little water for color". This just made matters worse. In the end I just received a Venti. I as a rule don't like the Venti as it's as tall as I am and makes it hard to drink. And in support of the glorious Hamster, please go vote for him and his new World Order at the Ellen Degeneres web site. vote: Hamster Write in: Wicked Hamster As the TKW says "Vote now and Vote often"
